What makes life seem more surreal instead of just...real?!
Question: Wow, this stretches a person's viewpoint a bit. The first thing that comes to mind is that our typical view of life is filtered through our socially conditioned mind and ego. It is like living in the 'red' part of a rainbow, and thinking everything is more or less shades of red. We meet a yellow person, but, they kind of look red to us. Then through some 'accident', we start to perceive outside our concepts and language of our typical modes of knowing, and voila, the world is a rainbow. So one person described it like this, the people who we see as advanced with heightened awareness are not super beings, they are normal, and we just happen to be sub normal at this point in our development. The essence of this, is that Life is Real and Full, and when we glimpse it from a more limited day to day material world view, it seems 'surreal', but in fact it is real, and we haven't found how to see the greater, brigher picture more of the time... yet.

the twisted tunes of my mind. Dali would be jealous...
Cough medicine. The kind that makes you drowsy. I can't wait until I get sick again!
Maybe some kind of mind altering substance.

Blunt reality is the most surrealistic phenomenon.
The multiple levels we can use to interact with everything around us.
What is this "real" thing I've been hearing about?
Since when is a world real when the media contorts everything, almost everyone has had plastic surgery, there are at least 5 sides to every story (even if only 2 people are involved), and "reality" shows are scripted?
Everything is surreal, this world is doomed...
Thumbs down from trolls in 3... 2... 1... Now
Absinthe usually does it for me.
how strong feelings are. and how one person can make u feel as ur on top of the world. the fall from being on top of the world when you realize that just cause you are truthful does not mean that everyone is.
